It's a Final Cut world

Independent filmmakers. Hollywood film editors. Corporate video and
event producers. Editors with hourly deadlines cutting broadcast spots
or network news. Hundreds of thousands of creative professionals all
over the world have made Final Cut Pro their first choice for editing.
It has rapidly become an industry standard.

Building on this success, Apple has designed each application in Final
Cut Studio 2 with Final Cut Pro editors in mind. Start working quickly
with intuitive tools and familiar interfaces. Whenever you’re ready
for precise control, a comprehensive set of features is just a click
away.

The editor's choice

Final Cut Studio 2 is fast, fluid, and flexible. Use a laptop on
location and a desktop in the studio. Start with the tools you already
use today and extend your reach when you're ready. Final Cut Studio 2
has everything you need in a single product.

Edit. Use Final Cut Pro 6 for native editing of virtually any format —
from DV and SD up to HDV, XDCAM HD, DVCPRO HD, and fully uncompressed
HD. Or use ProRes 422, a new post-production format from Apple that
offers uncompressed HD quality at SD file sizes. Drag clips with
different formats and even different frame rates into the new open
format Timeline.

Animate. Create stunning 2D and 3D motion graphics in real time with
Motion 3, the fastest and most intuitive way to animate and express
your creative vision. Just drag and drop to make dramatic particle
effects explode into 3D space; form vector-based paint strokes with
the swish of a pen. New Motion master templates let you edit text and
drop in video without leaving Final Cut Pro.

Mix. Record and edit dialogue, add music and effects, and complete
your mix with ease. Soundtrack Pro 2 lets you work faster than ever in
its new, streamlined interface. You can even produce in surround sound
using innovative visual tools. If you make changes to your edit in
Final Cut Pro, you can rapidly update your audio mix with the powerful
Conform feature in Soundtrack Pro.

Grade. Give your production a signature look or create a consistent
feel for shots from different sources. Color is the newest member of
the Final Cut Studio family, offering professional color grading that
can elevate the quality of any production.

Deliver. Use Compressor 3 to create pristine-quality output for a wide
range of delivery formats — including the web, iPod, iPhone, Apple TV,
and broadcast servers. A streamlined new interface lets you
batch-process encoding with point-and-click ease. If film is your
destination, use Cinema Tools 4 to output film lists that combine
timecode and keycode in a single list. Or use DVD Studio Pro 4 for
professional DVD authoring and mastering.

Post-production without walls

Final Cut Studio 2 is not just a product. It's a platform. Open
standards encourage innovation, giving developers and partners the
freedom to create custom solutions. With XML to share project data and
QuickTime to seamlessly move media between systems, Final Cut Studio 2
can fit into virtually any production pipeline or newsroom.

Whether you're working in a group of 2 or 200, Final Cut Studio lets
you collaborate with ease. Share media seamlessly across multiple
workstations with Xsan. Use Final Cut Server - with or without Xsan -
for media asset management and workflow automation that is deeply
integrated with Final Cut Studio 2. Whether you're cutting
commercials, editing feature films, or pushing out the nightly news,
Final Cut Server helps you work faster whenever you're working
together.
